Gross and fascinating. Had to stop at the incredibly descriptive part about how their findings proved humans would rather be mute than fed from a tube and insisted on crunch over masticated food. Considering my late mother lost the majority of her tongue due to radiation from a blood disease and later was fed from a tube … I just couldn’t continue listening.

Well dang, Frieda! Diabolical Debbie was fun to read! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Got the ick in my ear with this one. I made it until the line, “I felt the spurt of his warmth against me…” and turned it off.

Wow. Listening to Chapter 24 again. Some profound life lessons spoken so simply and lovingly in this chapter. I need to hear them again.

Did not finish. Didn’t like how the main character “breaks the fourth wall” or whatever that means in literature and talks TO me. I wasn’t interested in a podcast; I wanted a mystery. Couldn’t hang.

Couldn’t finish it. Might put this one on my Kindle to finish it instead. Narration bothered me and I got lost. Moving on.

I had to stop because I couldn’t keep track of the switch between male/female pronouns for the same character or there are two Micahs. Just not a book for me.

The emotionally and physically/sexually abusive behaviors described in the story is incredibly unsettling. Still, this book was a page turner for me.

Convincing!

Re-read it because my son is reading it for school.

Informative! Also kind of depressing. After reading this book I took a loooong walk with my dog and left my phone and earbuds at home. My brain works better and my body/mind is more regulated when I allow myself to naturally process pain, grief and discomfort instead of constantly seeking hits of dopamine to distract myself or escape from it.

I love the fiesty Grandmother and precocious granddaughter but there were too many stories within the story for me.
